The Weight Of Compassion by Countess Of Fingall Elizabeth
Seventy Years Young reanimates a proximate but forgotten past with all the power of first-class fiction, and the glitter and rarity of a Faberge egg.
This book is one of the most remarkable and the most entertaining of its kind ever published about late Victorian and Edwardian Ireland’ – Peter Costello, Sunday Independent ‘A woman of considerable style and substance, her autobiography gives a fascinating glimpse into the social and political life in Ireland at the turn of the century.’ – Deidre McQuillan, Sunday Tribune ‘These memories are crammed with interesting, revealing and often funny stories about people like the Balfours, Horace Plunkett, King Edward VII and a host of famous politicians.’ – Caitriona Clear, Linen Hall Review
EOIN O'BRIEN, a professor of medicine and both the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Dublin, is author of several highly regarded volumes: among them, The Beckett Country : Samuel Beckett's Ireland; Conscience and Conflict: A Biography of Sir Dominic Corrigan, 1802-1880; The Royal college of Surgeons, 1884-1984; An Illustrated History of Medicine in Ireland.
